Out of the Whirlwind

Hailing for the gospel stronghold south side of Chicago, Out of the Whirlwind is made up of veteran musicians who came together to put out a style they refer to as nouveau gospel. Not easily categorized but best analogized as a gumbo pot, made more savory by the different ingredients the members bring.
Founding members John Ludwig, Dennis Jackson and Shawn Mitchell are joined by Larry Blake, Leon Dubose, Dale Giantomasso and Megan Marshall.

Band naming back story:
The name comes from the Old Testament book of Job. For 37 chapters Job and his friends attempt to explain the views on what one might call God, life, the universe and everything. Then in Chapter 38 we read, "Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: "Who is this that darkens counsel without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you and you shall answer Me""

Over the next few chapters, the Lord quizzes Job with a series of questions that only the Creator could answer. Job then humbly declares he will speak no more and repents from his prespectiveless attempts at wisdom.

The band seeks to represent the voice out of the whirlwind in all they do and say, as opposed to human voices full of their own understanding. To God be the glory!
